I would bundle Sky TV, Sky Fibre Broadband, and Phone service together

Sky Starter $25, Max Broadband $79, Landline $10

$114 total -before any additional channels

Hi yes in some parts like Ferndale the only real option is HFC, VDSL is available there but at the entrance to Ferndale is already 900m to the local cabinet so vdsl has lost its magic.

That leaves HFC and yes have recently put a customer in Ferndale on that, so still sold. As a last resort HFC is not that bad, until you call the help desk, in which case you find yourself preferring to slam your hand repeatedly in a cutlery draw than ask for help.

Pegasus is still mostly cable, but some (newer) parts of it are on fibre now. No copper there at all.
